Greg is a multidisciplinary designer, educator and occasional writer, with a broad background in two- and three-dimensional design. He spent several years with architectural firms, including the internationally recognized RTKL, as a part of the environmental graphics team, and TPG Architecture in New York. He has worked on regional, national and international projects ranging from printed publications, packaging, websites, branding and identity, wayfinding, and branded architectural spaces. Previous clients include Procter & Gamble and the Architect of the U.S. Capitol, along with a wide swath of smaller, local, and non-profit organizations.

His design aesthetic is focused on the challenge of creating spaces, systems, and artifacts that employ an optimal balance of emotional expressiveness and communicative clarity. He brings a powerful ability to create pleasant and useful experiences for those who might be using a particular product, service, or space.

Greg holds an MFA in Communication Design from Pratt Institute, and a BS in Graphic Design from the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning at the University of Cincinnati. For several years he has served as a full-time Lecturer and Foundations Coordinator for Kean University in Union, NJ. His volunteer work includes the AIGA Mentorship Program, Pratt Free School, Architecture for Humanity, and Greater DC Cares. He is a member of the AIGA, SEGD, College Art Association (CAA), and Foundations in Art: Theory and Education (FATE). Read Less
